As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for you
without minerals. Vitamins cannot be assimilated without the aid of minerals. And though
the body can manufacture a few vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral. All
tissues and internal fluids of our body contain varying quantities of minerals. Minerals
are constituents of the bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and nerve cells. They
are vital to overall mental and physical well-being.

Minerals act as catalysts for many biological reactions
within the body, including muscle response, the transmission of messages through the
nerve system, the production of hormones, digestion, and the utilization of nutrients in
foods.
